Party Crafts | A Joyful Riot

Adding customization to your event is one way to make it memorable, and this quick, simple trick will do just that! With so many uses for lollipop sticks {ideas at the end of post} why not make yours a one-of-a-kind match for your party?!

Lollipop sticks //
Tissue paper //
Scissors //
Glue //

Grab some sticks from the cake decorating section of any large retailer, craft or party store. I used these Wilton ones:

Gather your tissue paper, choose one or more that match your event.

Cut into squares/rectangles about 3″ wide. The length will depend on how many sticks you are covering.

Cut each of these into 1″ increments.

Add glue to one edge of a tissue paper rectangle.

Apply rectangle to a lollipop stick.

Apply glue to the middle and opposite edge.

Roll the tissue paper around the stick.

Your sticks are ready to use! Just make sure you put the edible stuff on the white end :)

Uses for custom lollipop sticks:

Cake pops
Polka dot pops
Chocolate lollipops
Chocolate covered cheesecake
Oreos on a stick
Pie pops
Pizza on a stick
Panini pops
Donut on a stick
Chocolate covered peeps
Macarons on a stick
Rice crispy popsicles
Mini cotton candy
Pancake pops

Really, anything can be put on a stick! Any more ideas? Leave in the comments!

A quick little craft that’ll bring tons of joy and fun to your Easter get-together this year!

You’ll need:
Orange paper, regular weight or card stock. Try some cute prints!
Green tissue paper
Party poppers
Glue or tape
Scissors
Pencil

First download and print this cone template:

Cut out and trace onto orange paper, you should be able to get 4 on an 8.5″ x 11″ paper and 6 on a 12″ x 12″.

Roll your paper into a cone just to get the shape right before adding glue.

Apply whatever glue you’d like to one edge. For card stock I’d recommend glue dots, hot glue or even some cute washi tape!

We’ll be filling these cones with these party poppers:

You can find them at any party supply or large retailer.

Remove the little foil holding the string up:

place in the middle of your paper cone

and roll it up around it, making sure the string comes out the bottom.

Push the edges of the popper down so it fits snugly in the cone.

Take green tissue paper, fold it in half and cut out some squares, about four inches by four inches

Scrunch up the bottom of the tissue paper,

and insert it into your cone around the popper.

The tissue paper will stick in there without glue but I’d recommend using just a touch

And you’re done! Just hold the carrot in one hand, pull the string with the other and watch confetti fly!!

Fun little noise-making, confetti shooter for your celebrations! Who doesn’t want that!?
